About Wilson Trailer
Wilson Trailer Company is based in Sioux City, Iowa and builds grain, livestock, flatbed and gooseneck trailers. Its Pacesetter grain trailer is described by the company as the most preferred grain trailer in North America, and the Wilson family business dates back to the 1880s.
Wilson trailers on our list
Our eligible equipment list includes the Wilson Pacesetter grain trailer, 3-axle grain hopper trailers and livestock trailers. These are farm and ag-hauling trailers used by grain farms, custom haulers, cattle operations and commercial livestock carriers.
How lenders view Wilson trailers
Aluminum grain hoppers and livestock trailers have a strong resale market in farming regions. Lenders review model year, tarp and gate condition, floor, axles, suspension and tires. For livestock trailers, the condition of floors and compartments matters. Farm lenders often match payments to harvest or livestock sales.
Who finances Wilson trailers
Grain farms buying a trailer to haul their own crop, custom haulers serving several farms and livestock carriers all finance Wilson trailers. Lenders look at how the trailer earns money and at the operation's income cycle. Farm Credit Canada, bank agriculture teams, dealer programs and independent lenders can all be compared.
How Wilson equipment financing works
Most Wilson purchases are financed with an equipment loan or a lease. A loan gives you ownership from day one, with the lender registering a security interest (PPSA in Canada, UCC in the USA). A lease keeps title with the lessor and can lower the monthly payment, with a buyout, renewal or return option at the end.
Wilson equipment we help finance
Financing Wilson trailers
Trailers are financed alongside trucks or on their own. Lenders review trailer type (dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, lowboy, dump), model year, axle and suspension setup and, for reefers, the refrigeration unit's hours. Standard dry vans and flatbeds resell widely, while specialized trailers depend more on the buyer's contracts.
Wilson trailers on our eligible equipment list include Wilson 3-Axle Grain Hopper Trailer, Wilson Livestock Trailer and Wilson Pacesetter Grain Trailer.
What lenders check on a Wilson trailer
Lenders look at model year, odometer reading, engine and emissions history, and your driving or operating experience. Long-haul use is often reviewed more closely than local or vocational work.
Expect to provide a credit application, recent business bank statements, the dealer quote or bill of sale with serial number and kilometres or miles, and financial statements or tax returns for larger amounts.

Tax treatment of Wilson equipment
In Canada, trucks and tractors designed for hauling freight with a gross vehicle weight rating over 11,788 kg generally fall in CCA Class 16, while other trucks and vehicles generally fall in Class 10. Trailers have their own rules, so confirm the class with your accountant. With a loan, you generally claim capital cost allowance and deduct interest. With a true operating lease, lease payments are generally deductible instead. See the CRA classes of depreciable property. In the USA, Section 179 and bonus depreciation may apply; see IRS Publication 946. Always confirm with your accountant.
